Winemakers can see how their creations stack up against the others at the fourth Annual Winemaker's Competition, and proceeds from the event will benefit Wells for Kenya.

The money raised will go to the non-profit organization started by Michael Martino of Uxbridge after he heard Dr. Gerry Kibarabara, a clergyman from Kenya, speak about the lack of safe, clean, potable water in his native land. The group has refurbished a well-drilling rig that is being used in Kenya today.

The winemaking competition will be held Saturday, March 20 from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Natick Elks Lodge, 95 Speen St.

Winemakers should submit five bottles of their wine, along with a $25 entry fee.

Those wishing to taste the wines can buy a ticket, $50 per person and $325 for a table of eight. Tickets must be purchased in advance.

For more information and to purchase tickets contact Michael Martino at 508-259-5791 or Peter Martino at 508-259-7703, or send an e-mail to wfkp07@gmail.com.
